10

Ten games, and no losses in September. Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Isn't is strange to think that at some point years from now, we'll look at great winning streaks in the history if the franchise and see the past few weeks as one of the most wickedly awesome stretches ever.

No, really. And we don't even care at this point how much of a long shot the postseason is. We're going down with the ship.

We know that the chances are remote, but the irrational fan in us is doing somersaults when we see the Jays' chances at the Wild Card increase over the past week from 1% to 2.8% according to Coolstandings. (UPDATE: Actually, it went from 1% to 2.8% in one day.)

Tao, don't knock it. Enjoy the fuzzy feelings while they last. I spent a lot of time there last night staring down the realists, so let me enjoy the fruit of my labours. Honestly, isn't it better than bitching about JP and company all the time? We've got the whole off-season for that.

"Hope climbs atop of the piano reaching out towards the warmth of the sun some man tries to ask her down but now maybe that's where she belongs

my god she said, i'm the sunflower who wants my god he said, this woman is gone into the dark is there anybody there my god she said

he climbed up top to find that she was slippingLet her go, let her go, let me go how long must we leave before we're winning they don't know, they don't know they just don't know If she can't be there I know it's best that nothing is denied If she can't be there it's best that everyone change sides "

-Holy shit. How appropriate is that song at the moment? I'm not a fan of OLP at all, but with all this "hope" stuff floating around, the song's been in my head all day. I'm almost glad I wasted 2 minutes of my life looking up the lyrics.

I don't know where I'm goinbut I sure know where I've beenhanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more timebut here I go again, here I go again.

Tho' I keep searching for an answerI never seem to find what I'm looking for.Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my owngoin' down the only road I've ever known.Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Just another heart in need of rescuewaiting on love's sweet charityan' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.

Here I go again on my owngoin' down the only road I've ever known.Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more timebut here I go again, here I go again,here I go again, here I go.

An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.

Here I go again on my owngoin' down the only road I've ever known.Like a drifter I was born to walk alone'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.
